Well, it was Sunny remember... ;) -4F, wow, that's tropical! We're in another cold snap right now, just intime for our next race next weekend. Oh well, at least there are not too many hikers to deal with!

Man thats cool! I have to ride alone out here when it gets that cold and snowy! I think it would be a gas to have SUB-ZERO MTB race to play in!

Hope you had fun!

That's rediculous. I think I'd stay inside under the blankets with my girlfriend drinking cocoa and watching TV. I thought 40 degrees on Sunday was almost too cold to ride.

Don't forget though, in the Ottawa Valley this time of year, -30 is warm.. I mean when it's -10, we're all driving around with our windows down and wearing jackets talking about how warm it is! ;)

Maybe we're just messed up... but oh well.. I'll post some shots from our next race soon. We have shovelled an ice-track on the frozen pond at Bruce Pit.. It will be who can do the most laps in the alloted time. Oh, and for this race, spikes are not an option like the others... they are a requirement!
